The thing with being at home and working on the blog three days a week is that temptation in the form of sugar and butter is EVERYWHERE. So as soon as stuff comes out of the oven, it’s distributed and I look the other way. The fridge is usually devoid of anything I would want…

Teriyaki Tofu Stir Fry
Happy Monday! Let’s start the week off right. The world cannot unfortunately be all cupcakes and chocolate. Sometimes, there’s tofu. But it’s good tofu. This is equally a lazy-Sunday-binge-watch-Narcos kind of meal as it is a dreary Monday saviour. Because if we can find a way to make tofu fun, we really should be making…
Baked Mac and Cheese
Mac and cheese outside the home is usually wayyyy too heavy for my liking. Does it have to be aaaaall cheese? Or loaded to the top with cream? Or filled with gluggy, goopy pasta and basically no other flavour? No, no and no. I usually end up pushing such a dish away in a couple…
Roasted Tomato & Peach Caprese Salad
Happy Monday, you guys! I wouldn’t normally start you off on the week with a salad. I would apologise, but the fact is, we all need to look at something bright and happy on a Monday, and this salad goes beyond the call of duty. This is my take on a caprese, minus the balsamic vinegar…
Spinach Artichoke Mushroom Enchiladas
Hello! I’m The Girl Who Almost Ate Six Enchiladas Because No One Was Watching. I say ‘almost’ because luckily, I didn’t want my husband to starve. I’m considerate like that. But if you don’t feel like being considerate, by all means, have at it. Ain’t no judgement here. I never really doubted the power of…
Roasted Plum and Poppy Seed Muffins
As anyone who lives in Mumbai knows, it rained all kinds of animals this weekend. The streets are gross and muddy, traffic is backed up everywhere and laundry won’t dry. But, but, but. Those thick, gloomy clouds have finally driven the cruel sun into hiding, temperatures have dropped significantly, there is a generous breeze, and multiple…
Cinnamon Almond Cake with Cherry Compote
Losing my precious Lassie made me think many times about going back to normal and how soon would I feel okay talking about cake again. And then I realised that Lass would have never said no to cake and I shouldn’t either. (Not that I would have allowed her to eat a 9″ loaf). This…
Lassie
I don’t normally talk much about my life outside of this blog. But this weekend, my family and I went through something terrible and it was impossible to carry on like nothing happened. Today I’m going to tell you about our irresistibly cute, completely nutty, not yet 6-year-old Golden Retriever, Lassie. On Saturday, we put her to sleep…
No-Bake Mango Cheesecake (Eggless, Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free)
I think cheesecakes are amazing, I really do. It’s just that I can rarely eat a whole slice without wanting to take a nap in between. Plus, all the guilt. So when I tried a raw, vegan, frozen cake at Cafe Zest, I decided a dessert of this sort had to be made at home. A…
